Hi Iraku,
Is there a possibility you could take your anti-depressant at a different time? Maybe talk to your doctor about this.
Its true, like PIglet said, try not to 'worry' about it ... the more you do, the worse it will get. I've gone through this, too, and LIVED through it!! 🙂 People go through this without taking anti depressants.
There are times when I just plain had to Let It All Go... I keep a radio at my bedside (usually listen to Coast to Coast...which here in Denver, goes on from 10PM to 3AM...that distracts my mind, because 'soft soothing music' just doesn't work!
I have had 'sleep problems' for years. I do ok with just 6 hrs of sleep a night... everyone is different. I use 1/2 tab of Unisom or Benedryl every nite...and usually go to bed at 11PM. But I am retired, so its all ok... I know if you have a daytime job its different. We are all different in our needs for sleep. You will be OK! 🙂
The more you move about, and get some exercise, the better you sleep. Anyway, that is my experience.

Sounds like a whole of GOOD THINGS are happening for you! Yay!! With your determination (which you have!) I know the right thing will happen at the right time! 🙂 Somehow it will all fall into place. (and thank you 🙂
Thank you for your encouragement Bettyann, it means a lot. 🙂

Hi Bettyann, thank you for all the care and advice. It's good to be reminded of all simple things from time to time. 🙂
I am on the changing of medication process. I'm taking another step down before the new med replacing. The doctor I saw yesterday gave me Circadin and I'll see how it goes. I'm about to get out and take a long walk for today exercise. Being on anti-depressant helps, I actually see the different. It's the first time in my life to feel that when I have no depression ...this is it. I want to be free from the anti-depressant in the future but for now I will need it ...
Glad to see you again. 🙂
